In the United States, many people will celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow. Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October.

To honour this holiday, today's Wordy Wednesday is the expression THANK (ONE'S) LUCKY STARS. Definition: to be thankful for good luck.

Example 1: I thanked my lucky stars that I found my missing bracelet!

Example 2: He thanks his lucky stars every day for his wonderful wife.

That's it for today'sDaily Vitamin. Here in Ziggurat, we are thankful for you... our readers! Thanks for following the Vitamins.

Hello everyone, and welcome to today's Daily Vitamin! I hope your day is going well.

This month, we have looked at WILL + INFINITIVE vs. BE GOING TO+ INFINITIVE a few times. To express the future, we generally use one of these two combinations:-->WILL + INFINITIVE--> BE GOING TO + INFINITIVEOften we can use them interchangeably, but there are times when one is more appropriate. On November 3, we looked at WILL + INFINITIVE for promises. Example 1: I will never lie to you. On November 18, we looked at WILL + INFINITIVE for quick decisions. Example 2: (The doorbell rings.) I'll get it!Today, we are looking at BE GOING TO. We use this form when we talk about future predictions based on evidence we have in the present. Example 3: (It is cloudy outside.) It is going torain. Example 4: (It is cold and you do not have a jacket.) I am going toget sick.

In each of these situations, we have a present condition and we are making a prediction about the future based on this information.

We also use BE GOING TO + INFINITIVE to talk about definite plans in the future.

Example 5: This weekend Iam going to see a film. Do you want to come?

Example 6: Next summer I'm going to go to Egypt with my family.

For today's Missing MondayDaily Vitamin, we are looking at a vocabulary question. Can you complete the sentence below?Sentence 1: Can you hand me three _____________ of paper?

There are actually two correct forms of this sentence. For individual papers, we say SHEETS or PIECES. Sentence 1(a): Can you hand me three SHEETSof paper?Sentence 1(b): Can you hand me three PIECES of paper?

We also use the word PAGE(S) with paper, but this is when the pages are in a book, magazine, or newspaper. Example 1: I read 50 pages of my book last night. Example 2: The article is on page 10.
